Huh? I can define the width of a way, its color, whether it is dashed or solid in my TYP file. Are you saying I don't need a TYP file to make a dashed, brown line of width 5 pixels with hex code 0x1007 that is then assigned via a style rule to an OSM way?  

If I do not then I agree; I don't  understand anything about TYP files.

Can you explain in a little more detail what you are trying to tell me?

Hi Dave,


it seems you don't understand the meaning of TYP file.

It is used to define how POI / lines /  areas are displayed (in Basecamp and the device).

Such a file is not part of the mkgmap distribution, don't know why, maybe the reason

is that some devices don't support TYP files, maybe it's because programmers aren't

much interested in it ;-)

You can find samples in other wellknown styles, e.g. here:

https://github.com/ligfietser/mkgmap-style-sheets


which contains the styles used for Minkos cycling maps:

I don't know if this page is up to date, but it may help as well:
